The Cassidy Military Operations on Urban Terrain (MOUT) training site is a 90,000square kilometer training facility built for tactical simulations of urban combat.Cassidy MOUT contains representations of government buildings, a hospital, abank, a school, suburban homes, apartment buildings, narrow and wide streets,a park, and detailed elements such as street signs, sewer covers, utility cables, andstreetlamps. In late 2005, Cassidy MOUT was redesigned to simulate cities in Iraq.Destroyed cars and other debris were added to the streets, and cement walls werebuilt around several buildings to resemble clusters of walled Iraqi compounds.The World Church of God represents a generic religious structure where city residentsmeet for collective worship. Recently, Cassidy MOUT constructed a wall aroundthe church to mimic the set-up of many mosques in both Iraq and Afghanistan.In training exercises, soldiers are given specific missions and simulated weaponry.Their actions are recorded on video and reviewed after the mission has ended.On occasion, private citizens are hired to role-play parts in the simulated trainingmissions. In mid-2005, before 20,000 Fort Campbell soldiers were deployed to Iraq,civilians familiar with or native to Iraq were hired to make the training morerealistic.
